Farouk Abdelazeez 2.jpg
In this painterly scene, by Farouk Abdelazeez, a raft filled with goods is propelled down a river by shadowy figures. On the banks of the river are various forms of lush vegetation including a thick forest of palm tress. The river, rendered in loose…

Farouk Abdelazeez 1.jpg
This village scene, by Farouk Abdelazeez, is rendered in a type of stippling, as each form appears to be composed of a series of hatching and dotted marks. The viewer’s perspective is as one traveling down river; across a bend a small village emerges…

Farouk Abdelazeez 4.jpg
Farouk Abdelazeez has again rendered this landscaped with a kind of stippling technique that composes each form. The landscape here rises from a marshy valley to rolling hills and finally to a rocky mountain range. The color palette is natural, of…

Farouk Abdelazeez 3.jpg
Farouk Abdelazeez has captured this market scene in the midst of action and with detailed realism. A seated woman turns uncomfortably to glance at something beyond the picture plane while two standing women are in conversation. Other figures merely…

Sameera Abdelwahab 2 1998.jpg

Mahoud Ahmad 22 1974.jpg
Here, Mahoud Ahmad has used the sleeping nude female form to insinuate a dream-like quality to the rendered scene. As the woman sleeps cradled by the boat, a ghostly figure arises from an undetermined space. The vaporous human form on horseback is…

Mahoud Ahmad 8.jpg
In this composition, by Mahoud Ahmad, the forms are rendered in an ambiguous space where the sky and ground merge into one. The figures appear to be floating on a liquid surface of fluid blues. The fantasy-like scene is made up of a nude sleeping…

Mahoud Ahmad 3.jpg
The main figure in this painting, by Mahoud Ahmad, is a lean yet muscular man, clothed simply in rolled trousers, carrying an uprooted palm tree on his back. The man’s facial expression is not one of strain despite the supposed effort of baring such…
